✨ Persepolis ✨

okay so bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about persepolis — and this is a persepolis manual page, so buckle up 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

persepolis — Persepolis Download Manager. that's it, that's the name, iconic behavior 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

persepolis --link [<URI>] [<OPTIONS>]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Persepolis Download Manager is a feature-full utility for easier and faster downloads with aria2. it supports HTTP(S) & FTP. Persepolis configures aria2 automatically for maximum speed, and it has a GUI so you don't have to be a terminal gremlin like me to use it (though, respectfully, you should still be one 🫶).

you can adjust start time and end time for downloads. Persepolis can shutdown your system after a download finishes — yes, it will literally power your whole computer down when it's done, main character energy fr fr 🔥

you can also integrate persepolis with your browser (read the persepolis wiki on the github page for that one, iykyk).

👑 OPTIONS 👑

💜 Basic Options

  • --link — Your Download link. (Use "" for links) — and here's the vibe in action:
$ persepolis --link
"https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png"
  • --referrer — Set an http referrer (Referer). This affects all http/https downloads. If * is given, the download URI is also used as the referrer. no cap ✨
  • --load-cookies — Set cookies file path. 🍪
  • --agent — Set user agent for HTTP(S) downloads. Default: aria2/$VERSION, and $VERSION is replaced by the package version. she's self-aware 💅
  • --headers — Append HEADER to HTTP request header.
  • --name — The file name of the downloaded file.
  • --default — Restore default settings. a little factory reset moment, we love a clean slate 🧚
  • --clear — Clear download list and user setting! ⚠️ note the exclamation mark, bestie, this one is not playing around.
👀 heads up: --clear wipes your download list and your user settings. it's giving "no takebacks."
  • --tray — Persepolis starts in tray icon. It's useful when you want to put persepolis in system's startup. lowkey the perfect set-it-and-forget-it move 🌈
  • --version — Showing persepolis version.
  • --help — Persepolis help. the classic "help me help you" 🌸
  • MORE HELP — for configuration with firefox flashgot please see README.md file on github https://github.com/persepolisdm/persepolis 💖
